The Gee-Gee Women’s fastball team finished an exhausting weekend of six games with a 3-3 record facing some of their strongest competition. Friday night the Gee-Gee’s played the Carleton Ravens for a double header out in Orleans. To raise awareness for Mental Health, the Gee-Gee squad wore purple shirts for both games. The Gee-Gees came out strong to defeat the Ravens in five innings of play; with a final score of 9-0. Jill Taylor started the game; however, suffered an injury after the first pitch which resulted in Jean Cardona having to enter the game in the second inning. Gee-Gees came out strong on the bats with another win to finish off the night with two wins. Final score of the second game was 16-1.

Early Saturday morning the ladies ran a camp for kids and worked on improving their softball skills. Following the sports camp, the Gee-Gees hosted Laurier in Orleans for a double header. These two games concluded in frustrating losses for the ladies.

After recovering for the night the Gee-Gees hosted Waterloo for their two concluding games of the weekend. With a strong start to finish, the ladies were able to hold Waterloo’s talented batters to only 3 runs. All bats were on fire scoring 7 runs which allowed them to walk off with the win. The second game was a very close game which resulted in a loss for the ladies but overall a very well played game of ball. Defence and offence are beginning to come together for the Gee-Gees which is allowing for only a bright season ahead and an even stronger playoff finish.
